Two exhibitions with the same theme – Kaleidoscope, a site-specific video installation shown in 2018 at the Art Pavilion in Zagreb and Kaleidoscope – Graphic Folio, on view in 2021 at the Josip Račić Gallery, National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb – are the subject of this doctoral thesis based on artistic achievement. In different media, the two exhibitions are nevertheless eponymous, as they are based on a single idea, to interpret the surrounding public space and a provide a subjective reinterpretation of experience. Motifs are created from the site-specific video installation – 14 were selected from documentary material collected over the course of one year, with a starting point in the presentation of Zagreb’s Art Pavilion surroundings. A new form of the work emerged from processing and transferring these into an ensemble, using a graphic arts technique. As a children’s toy, the kaleidoscope is symbolically linked to the visual play of glass elements, colourful and flickering as they create associative and changing forms. It indicates a cognitive process that points up the ambiguity of subjective and experienced factors in the image and the fact that the invisible structure of the subconscious greatly influences what we perceive. In these two works of art the content indicates the complexity of the motif that was first rendered in an electronic medium and later in traditional art graphics, in the form of a graphic folio made in two techniques, offset and screen printing. The artistic idea was rendered in such a way that the exterior occupied the interior of the building, negating the walls and at the same time producing knowledge about the urban and historical content of the place. Images of public space at the exhibition were projections of what was in the surroundings. In both exhibited works, the spatio- temporal structure was emphasized; in a realistic and a two-dimensional form, bringing together different starting points of perception – as a w ork o f art i n w hich the observer/viewer takes on an active role and as a momentary experience of the image. A series of documents traces how the two exhibitions were set up, along with their references in the community.
